Introduction to Kitchen and Appliance Installation

Upgrading your entire kitchen with multiple new appliances is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, microwaves, refrigerators, and range hoods all need to be installed correctly — and in the right sequence — to achieve a polished, built-in result.


Adept Installation specializes in coordinated kitchen appliance installation in St. Louis and surrounding counties. With more than 40 years of combined experience, we know how to plan the order of operations, handle cabinet and countertop adjustments, reroute plumbing or electrical, and align appliances so everything looks intentional. Instead of calling multiple contractors, you can rely on one accountable team to make your kitchen come together seamlessly.

Why Coordinated Installation Matters

Installing appliances one at a time without a plan often leads to problems:



  • Dishwashers installed last may not fit under countertops once panels are secured.
  • Wall ovens and microwaves may not align visually if heights aren’t coordinated.
  • Refrigerator water lines routed after installation may kink or get pinched behind the unit.
  • Ventilation for range hoods and microwaves may be blocked by other appliances if not planned in advance.


Adept Installation prevents these headaches. We create a detailed installation sequence and execute it carefully, so each appliance fits and functions properly. The result is a kitchen that looks cohesive and works the way it should.

Our Process for Full Kitchen Installations

Step 1: Initial consultation

We start by reviewing your appliance list, model numbers, and kitchen layout. This allows us to identify cutout adjustments, utility requirements, and potential challenges.

Step 2: Planning the sequence

We create a step-by-step installation order. For example, dishwashers are often set before final paneling, while ovens and microwaves are aligned to create consistent trim lines.

Step 3: Preparing the space

Cabinet cutouts are resized, countertops trimmed, and utilities relocated if necessary. Shut off valves and outlets are placed in accessible locations.

Step 4: Appliance installation

Each unit is installed in sequence, leveled, and secured. We verify clearances, check door swings, and confirm drawers and panels open without obstruction.

Step 5: Alignment and finishing

Trims, panels, and handles are aligned so the kitchen reads as one cohesive design. Flooring transitions and cabinet fillers are adjusted for a seamless look.

Step 6: Testing

Every appliance is powered, run, or heated as appropriate. We check water connections for leaks, verify electrical loads, and confirm venting is clear.

Step 7: Final review and cleanup

Packaging and debris are removed, and the workspace is cleaned. We review the installation with you and provide care tips for your new appliances.
